We've installed TrueSight Server Automation 8.9.04-P3 and we've a problem with BLPackage in order to create a registry key named "NULL" in Windows.

We've a BLPackage to create, for example, the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\DES 56/56" as REG_DWORD and when we deploy it then the key is created.

But we change the name to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\NULL" (REG_DWORD) then the deploy process is not creating the new key. Only modify the "(Default)" key from REG_SZ to REG_DWORD.

The question is, how can we write the name of key (NULL) in order to this key is created and it not read like empty name?

I was trying to create a key value named “NULL”, type DWORD and value 0x0000 in “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers” registry key. And this operation didn’t create the key value, it only modified the “(Default)” value name from REG_SZ to DWORD.

But, now, I’ve seen that I have to create the registry key named “NULL” with the key value named “Enabled” (DWORD, 0x00000). I’ve created the BLPackage and now the deploy is working OK.
